BA/BS in Education, General

Education Studies is a bachelor's route for students who do not need Massachusetts teacher licensure at this level. It suits those aiming at education careers outside public school teaching or planning to continue to graduate study. Students learn instructional methods, curriculum adaptation and assessment, and they study the history and politics of American education. They also observe classrooms and reflect on their commitment to teaching. The many elective credits let students design a concentration and collect certificates or internships. The program is offered at the Longmeadow campus and through the online undergraduate programs. The program is part of the residential undergraduate offerings, with small classes and close contact with faculty. Prospective students can plan a visit, request information or apply online through the program page, and the undergraduate admissions office handles questions about transfer and enrollment.
